I took Seroquel for a short time but it caused me to sleep so much that I couldn't function so I had to stop. However, I agree with Spritual Emergency that medications for treatment of bp affect everyone differently. For example, I wouldn't take Paxil again if my life depended on it but there are those who swear by it.

You just have to keep trying different ones until you find what works for you. Even at that, for me at least, medications have a tendency to lose their effectiveness over time. It's a drag, but on the plus side I believe there's something that will work eventually.

I generally look up any new med I'm prescribed, but mainy to check for interactions with any aspect of my lifestyle the doctor may have missed or been unaware of, but if you feel uncomfortable about any med and are using the internet as a resource, I recommend that you check multiple sites for comparison.

Good luck and take care.
